Kutcho Copper Acquires Option on TCS Property in Northern B.C.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2018 / Kutcho Copper Corp. (TSX-V: KC) (OTC PINK: KCCFF) ("Kutcho Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement by which it can earn a 100% interest in the TCS Property located in northern British Columbia, approximately 90 km from the Kutcho project and 16 km from Dease Lake.

Vince Sorace, President and CEO, stated, "The TCS property covers prospective Kutcho Formation rocks with defined Copper-Zinc anomalies which have never been drill tested and compliments the regional exploration work planned for the Kutcho project in 2018 and 2019. TCS has been acquired as a pipeline project and could have several future synergies as it is located proximal to the proposed haul road for the Kutcho project."

The TCS property is underlain by the same Kutcho Formation rocks as found in the vicinity of the mineralized deposits at the Kutcho property. These include crystal bearing felsic volcanic rocks and aphyric felsic tuffs that may represent the same mineralized time horizon as at Kutcho. Alteration and mineralization at TCS consist of silica-sericite-pyrite alteration of felsic volcanic units with weakly anomalous geochemistry. Historic soil sampling defines a 600 m by 800 m Cu-Zn anomaly and is largely limited only by the presence of glaciolacustrine deposits. The TCS targets have never been drill tested. References to the Kutcho Formation rocks are for information purposes only and there are no assurances as to the similarity to the Kutcho project or that the TCS property will achieve the same results as the Kutcho project.

Kutcho Copper can earn a 100% interest in the TCS Property by making cash payments of $10,000 upon approval of the transaction, $15,000 at the first-anniversary date and a total balance of $120,000 over the proceeding 3 years of the option. In addition, the Company will issue up to a total of 150,000 shares over the 4-year term, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The TCS property will include a residual 2% NSR, of which 1% of the NSR can be bought for $500,000 on or before the first indicated resource estimate is published, for $750,000 on or before a PEA or more stringent economic study is published, and $1.25 million thereafter. Once the option is exercised, there will be annual advanced royalty payments of $10,000 for five years, doubling to $20,000 a year thereafter.

In addition, the Company has recently conducted additional claim staking that has increased the size of the project to approximately 50 km2 (5000 Ha). For more information regarding the TCS project please visit the company's website at www.kutcho.ca
